RE: AIR SUSPENSION..
On a Mark VII, it's an old debate.
Those of us that have owned multiple Mark VIIs for many years know that once an air spring developes a problem, you replace it with a new air spring and new o-rings.
If your 1990 Lincoln Mark VII drops down in the front overnight, then your sixteen year old rubber product may need to be replaced. If you take your car to the local shop with only Buicks and Chevys or your Brother-In-Law who believes that he once heard someone say they once worked on one of these, then you'll probably get a repair that may not last as long as one done by a seasoned Ford Mechanic.
So after paying $110.00 per bag and then $35.00 per hour per bag to be installed, plus a few bucks for these o-ring things, you're ready for your repair to last forever. However, there's this phrase called GIGO which stands for Garbage In Garbage Out. Six months later, your bargain installation fails and you're pissed. Every chance that you get, you tell anyone that will listen just how unreliable and expensive air-springs are to maintain. You then spend the very same amount to convert your car to steel springs and for the rest of the life of your Lincoln Mark VII, it rides like a Thunderbird. This is NOT a bad thing, it's just not a Lincoln Mark VII ride.
